    stuck with a dog that won't start

    please please help,
    the 2000 p2 t5 i knew i shouldn't have bought has decided she dosen't want to start,although i am pretty convinced its the fuel system,i can't find the pump relay or any other way of checking the pressure other than sticking a screw driver in the check valve on the injector rail,if any one can shed light there will be deep joy,
    thanks to anyone that can help

    Have you checked that it's not a blocked fuel filter?

    If it's never been changed & had rubbish in the tank....

    Also have you got a code reader to check it?

    What's it doing when you try to start her? If it's ticking & not turning then it's just electrical.


    You think I know **** nothing! But let me tell you I know **** all!

    Thought it would be something simple. Be thankful it wasn't a duff rail or pump! They can be a mare to fix!

    Glad you've got it sorted!
